Tongariro NP, NZ
by Nick Moore
I recently spent 2 weeks on the North Island of New Zealand, my second visit to one of my favourite countries. On the first visit we shot past Tongariro National Park, so this time I made sure we spent a couple of days there.
The Volcanic center of the island is usually shrouded in clouds, and this particular morning was no different. We were on a 6km hike when we reached this stream half way around; I liked the colours of the hillside, the flow to the stream, and how the clouds just descended on Mt Ruapehu in the distance to add a moody feel.

Nice job here Nick. I like the lines leading the viewer back into the image. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more at the top of the image as well, but it is a minor issue.
This is a beautiful and nicely composed landscape. I really like the combination of light on the landscape and the presence of clouds at the top. Tells me that the lighting was quickly and constantly changing and you did well to capture this one.
I really like the water in and above the cascade, but personally wish for a little longer ss at the bottom to have the water fan out more with a little motion too. But that's very nitpicky. This is still a beautifully captured scene.
